Carlisle United - can remember being involved in a house clearance some years back and in a chest of drawers was a sheet of old newspaper dating from about 1973.
It showed the old Division 1 league table and i was pleasantly shocked to see them near the top of the table. :)
I've got to say, watching their final game of the season last year was quite entertaining. The whole thing with Jackie McNamara stinks.Went to St John's university which is a stones throw away and used to go regularly. Got a lot of York supporting mates and watched them against my home team Lincoln a lot. Generally like them and want them to do well but they can fucking rot whilst they have Jon Parkin, Sean Newton and various other thugs plying their trade in their colours. They were a disgusting team to play against and watch last season and I laughed when they went down.
Halifax sprung to my mind on this thread.

I think you might be a year or two out.
Carlisle were promoted at the end of the 73/74 season; just after the Lawman's wonderful back-heel at the swamp.
Carlisle and the rags missed each other, as the Cumbrians went straight back down and, unfortunately, the scummy twats were promoted.
Gretna FC. Came to prominence when insurance entrepreneur Brooks Mileson invested heavily in them. Played in the Scottish Cup Final in 2006 but ill health meant that Mileson was forced to withdraw his support and they folded 2 years later.
